[WASHINGTON] President Donald Trump has taken a swing on Twitter at one of his favorite punching bags, Democrat Hillary Clinton - and his former presidential rival has hit back with her own zinger.

The trouble started Wednesday when Clinton raised questions over whether Mr Trump's campaign was linked to the alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 US presidential election.

Speaking at a technology conference in California, Mrs Clinton said Russia's government "could not have known how best to weaponise that information unless they had been guided" by Americans with polling data.

Mrs Clinton was referring to the hacking of her campaign's emails, which she has argued was partly to blame for her losing to the real estate mogul.
